A deep-sea adventure, Octonauts: Shark Mission, is being launched at Great Yarmouth Sea Life from Saturday.

Children can join Captain Barnacles, Peso, Dashi, Shellington, Professor Inkling, Tweak, Kwazii and Tunip in a thrilling quest to uncover the secrets of the ocean’s most jaw-some predators.

They can help the Octonauts crew solve the mind-bending puzzles of the mystery tanks and find out which sharks can live to be 400 years old, which sharks can smell a single drop of blood in an Olympic size swimming pool and why some sharks have skin as rough as sandpaper.

Youngsters can visit Professor Inkling’s colour lab, take a special dive of discovery with Dashi and follow instructions from Captain Barnacles to make a shark puppet.

Honorary Octonauts and their families can capture their special day in the Octonauts photo area for a treasured memento of their magical marine expedition, while all children will receive a personalised certificate signed by Captain Barnacles to take home.

They can get up close to a family of resident sharks from Bull Huss sharks to Blacktip reef sharks before meeting some of their favourite characters from the show, including an exclusive meet and greet with Shellington.
